Help on Siding Project on the North Side

Hello friends!

I'm working on a project in Avondale where we just passed all rough inspections for a gut rehab (whoo hoo!).  At the same time, our exterior contractor pretty much disappeared.  We're doing vinyl siding on the sides/back and Hardie in the front.  He finished the garage and about 70% of the vinyl, but didn't touch the Hardie.  He also had to do the gutters, some facia and soffit. 

Unfortunately, and stupid rookie mistake on my part, I already paid him a pretty significant amount for the work.  I'm scrambling now to find someone to finish it up for a good price as we can't start on the insulation/drywall until siding is done.

There are about 20 squares of vinyl left and 20 squares of Hardie.

How much approximately should I be looking to pay per square for vinyl vs. hardie?  Also, does anyone a reliable siding guy that can help me finish up at a good price? I may have someone for the vinyl, but hardie I know is harder to do. 


Thanks all!

    @Amir Haq - Given your current situation I would just find someone reliable who can do it in a relatively short time most contractors in Chicago are still busy, even in the cold.  Do you have the material purchased already?  I would expect you to pay $10k - very ballpark.  I can check some of our other numbers you need me to.

    I can provide a couple of reliable siding contractors.   Shoot me a PM and Ill give your our main guy.
